Where a finish time would have placed in 2026.
Faster than most Missouri 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 26:20, against 29:53 in a typical Missouri 5K, so times here run 12 percent faster.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
